In season three of our show, we are finally able to release our anticipated “Mapping Franco Brunswick” episodes, recorded with David Vermette, author of A Distinct Alien Race, and Larissa Vigue-Picard, Executive Director of the Pejepscot History Center. These two episodes were originally recorded all the way back in 2022. 

Today, we are presenting you with the first part of our Brunswick adventure: a historical walk around Brunswick with David. David discusses his research into the broader Franco history of Brunswick, as well as specific stories and locations important to his family’s experience of Franco Brunswick. As someone non-Franco who grew up in Brunswick, and has always been fascinated by local history, it was great to be able to share what I love about my hometown, while also learning something new. 

Special thanks to David Vermette for interviewing with us,

Correction: The Brunswick newspaper David mentions was called the Brunswick Telegraph and not the telegram.
